Stay tuned, and keep an eye out for your chance to sign and bring this issue directly to the people through REFERENDUM!”

The cannabis committee had initially been rejected, but it was Chief Nicholson who changed his mind and allowed its formation. But now Nicholson joined with Tomah’s mayor and city attorney along with Alder Kiefer to vote for its dissolution, with only Chris King and another alder, Mary Ann Kominski voting to continue meeting. We will keep on top of this as the referendum campaign ramps up.
